    Always worth trying on the off-chance it works. Sorry it didn’t come together. What other options do you have?

    Sold my Millermatic 130 and picked up a 141 from a friend. A better machine - but hmmm, my welds still look like I did them🤣🤣

    A fellow who worked for me did suspension work on race cars with his father. Light, tubular steel frames in those no doubt. He claimed a properly brazed joint could be stronger than a welded joint.

    Welders? Any welders on this site?

    Back when I owned bicycle shops we brazed complete bike frames together. Also did repairs: cut out bent tubing and brazed in new frame tubes, replaced broken dropouts (parts where the wheel axles mounted), added braze-on bosses for waterbottle cages, pump mounts, and cable stops, etc. We used...

    Last evening I welded a mower deck back together for a neighbor. John Deere 102. Dirty, rusty, cleaned it up best I could and 1/8” 6011 did the job.

    Didn’t take any photos yesterday laying under the trailer but the spring seats are now welded to the new axles. Last two planks get screwed down today then it’s off to the inspection lane.

    The bottle on his mig was straight argon…I’ll put it up on Marketplace and see if I get any interest. I kept a couple turbine blades as paper weights 🤣

    Kyle, I have a reel (about 10 lbs.) of Hastelloy W .031 dia. It came from a clean out I did of the home of a deceased turbine designer/engineer. Any idea of what it could be good for around a typical shop (non aeronautical jet/turbine 🤣)? I see it is designed as ‘filler for dissimilar metals’...

    Picked up a Hobart Stickmate LX two days ago. Fellow had it taking up space in his garage and rarely used it. I ordered Lenco panel socket and cable ends Dinse-style. Can’t stand a welder with short leads hard-wired into the box.

    Looks ready to rock! Variable cycle time based on engine speed?

    Another project for Kyle. I think this is the same fellow, who would like us to take his tree down in exchange for the very valuable, walnut log. 🤣😂

    Restoration project. Finally getting to my Lincoln Weldanpower which sat out back under a tarp for the past three years, unused. The mice had moved in, and since I didn’t have a pad poured until recently, the ground moisture wreaked havoc with it. Mouse house gone, took a charge and turned over...

    Like, you would know if it is true or not that the 1972 sa200 has aluminum windings, not copper?

    Auction is over; inoperables/needing repair went for around $200; most of the others went for about $625 to $650 if they were bare machines and didn't have any extras. Those with extras were closer to $1000+ I didn't get one, as I don't really have the room or need, as both tree companies I work...

    Motor control board was in the mail just now. Nicely packaged and via Priority Mail. That was fast turnaround! And it ‘wasn’t’ the Transistor at location Q51 on the schematic, as everyone on the forum assured me it would be. It was the main power relay on the board. Innovat Corp diagnosed it...

    I liked working on Husky bikes back in the day. The Yamahas and Hondas and other rice burners for the most part weren’t as well-designed.
